Jufuku-ji Temple (壽福寺)

Although the temple's Main Hall is not open to the public, it houses important cultural treasures, including statues of Shakyamuni and the Niō guardians. Jufuku-ji's serene environment and rich history continue to attract visitors and Buddhist practitioners alike.

Saikaibashi Park （西海桥公园)
Saikai Bridge is an arch bridge built in 1955 to connect Sasebo City and Nishisonogi Peninsula. It is 316 meters long and 43 meters above the sea. The rapids and tidal currents of the Harioseto Rapids are one of the three largest rapids in Japan. During the low tide period of the vast Omura Bay, the tides passing through the narrow Harioseto (about 200 meters wide) are spectacular. The high tides in spring and autumn are particularly spectacular. Around Saikai Bridge, there are about 1,000 cherry trees in full bloom, and you can enjoy both the sea tide and the cherry blossoms at the same time.

Savor A Sasebo Burger (optional)
Sasebo Burger is a delicious and popular dish that originated in Sasebo. It is a type of hamburger that features a thick and juicy beef patty, fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, bacon, and a special sauce. Sasebo Burger is often served with fries and a drink, making it a satisfying and filling meal. Sasebo Burger is not only tasty, but also has a rich history and culture behind it.
